Our culminating art project this term was an animal collage piece. Students used oil pastels and their knowledge of the colour wheel to choose analogous colours for their cat or dog’s eyes. Next, they drew on large sheets of paper with crayon and then colour washed the paper in vibrant water colours. After tearing the sheets into strips, students glued on the paper in a starburst fashion to suggest animal fur. Next, they applied the pastel eyes and nose. The final step was using black paint to add details around the eyes and muzzle. Thank you Ms. Mudry for teaching us so much about colour, line and perspective this year!
